Poems of Enlightenment Written in Beautiful Calligraphy
Woo Myung began to write calligraphy in 1996, the year Subtraction Meditation began. He has produced more than 40,000 pieces of calligraphic writings since that time. He often writes numerous pieces in a session, with the hope that they will help people awaken from their dreaming. They are not first composed as poetry, to be later written in calligraphic writing, but simultaneously composed and written down; the poetry forming as the brush moves across the paper. His calligraphy has the fluidity of water but is dynamic at the same time. Calligraphy experts and enthusiasts have praised his works as “possessing an inimitable uniqueness which does not belong to any existing school of work.” A portion of his work can be seen hanging in the walls of centers world-wide.
